I would re-think this Zee. Retreating back to the minimum wager at the shuffle is absolutely the biggest tell of a card counter, especially after ending the last shoe with a max or bigger bet out.
Unfortunately, there are not many options for avoiding it. You can leave at the shuffle as I do, or you can not return all the way back to minimum wager, as Zengrifter has at times suggested. I don't like this non-minimum wager for shoe games as it is just too costly. @DD, you can afford to do that a bit more. As a matter of fact, my normal DD spread goes both ways. The advantage of this, is pit, surveillance need to see both negative counts as well as the max bets counts to see your full spread.
